Die Another Day

That was a Bond movie, no?

But that's just how I feel right now, thanks to Chelski and Hull. It was in the end, a terrific way to spend a Tuesday evening - watching a cracking mid-week game where our interests were clearly at stake, but without the stress and frustration that has come with recent Arse games. Hull played an amazingly competent game, and Chelski looked decidedly unspectacular. They were probably saving themselves for Sunday. It was almost perverse. I celebrated a Hull goal, cheered Stephen Hunt on, found myself impressed with Amr Zaki's energy, and secretly wished we had Boaz Myhill.

Fine. It was quite clearly perverse. Not "almost". But hey, who'd refuse any of the above three a place in the starting line-up against Man U?

So a potential 8-point gap is now "only" 6. Which is funny, since Sunday's game will in effect be the so-called 6-pointer.

Around the news cycles then, is the news of us signing someone...after the transfer deadline...a defender...and a 19-year old to boot. Again, just typical. There must be something, someone, anyone, who's out there, somehow, between the age groups of 18 and 35 whom we could sign.

Unfortunately, this seems to be it in terms of news. Just two more days to the weekend. Man U have got Pompey at home. We have Chelski away. Wonder if at the end of the weekend, Man U will be happiest. I only wish.
